Thomas Bowden

I play a key role in the execution of large-scale events organized by the students, external clients & the Students Union. Working closely with the events team, I focus on meticulously planning the technical elements to ensure the precise delivery of requested services. This involves overseeing the AV aspects within the venue and ensuring smooth operations during student-led events.

I’ve been part of the Music for Youth Proms at the Royal Albert Hall for the past two years, helping rostrum changes run smoothly during performances, and showcasing my ability to work silently under pressure. Additionally, I have undertaken work in a local theatre, assisting with show setups and rearranging seating.

I’m an experienced Festival Stage Manager with a background in coordinating smooth performances, handling stage logistics, and creating a safe backstage environment. Skilled at collaborating with artists and technical teams to ensure successful performances.

I’ve played a key role in festival stage crew work, handling tasks like loading bands in/out and facilitating smooth set changes between performances.

The role involved site crew tasks, Event Control logging, resident hotline management, coordination with the Police, and collaboration with Bristol City Council on health and safety matters.
